It’s not often I can come to the rescue for any of our family members. God knows I’m not a great swimmer, and I can’t scale tall buildings in a single bound. Heck, I can barely walk to the corner without complaining about my creaky knees. But several weeks ago I got a frantic call […]

I Hate To Exercise So I’m Trying THIS Trick!

Sprouting Potatoes Got You Down? Here’s A Solution!
Sprouting potatoes are a real pain. I buy ten pound bags for just the two of us. (Yes…my Irish roots are showing!) And even though I serve potatoes at nearly every evening meal I often find some of those spuds sprouting before I can use them all up. But recently I think I’ve solved that […]
Get Rest; A Field That Has Rested Gives A Bountiful Crop – Ovid

Dinner In A Vineyard – A Wine Lover’s Magical Meal at Remy Wines
Some meals are simply magical…from beginning to end. And most of my magical meals have been meals I’ve shared with my family for more than six decades.

Website Progress…Plus Birthday Bangers And Mash!
Here’s the deal. My website has been upgraded and I’m starting to experiment with all the “newfangled” additions. That progress comes with some new headaches for this old Meemaw. And along those lines, let me say I was in the hospital…68 years ago today! Yup. It’s my birthday!!! I’ll share Peepaw’s surprise gift later, but […]
Blog Updates…and THE BEST Chocolate Chip Cookies!
Hello My Dear Meemaw Eats Blog Readers! I’m in the process of arranging an update to the “guts” of my blog. (That’s MY technical term for it.) Because of that step my posts have been (and will continue to be) somewhat sporadic until that upgrade has been completed. In the meantime, be sure to follow me […]
